- Humans and Austrolopithecenes are both hominins, which means they share many important similarities. Both are bipedal, omnivorous, stereoscopic, and have a more bowl shaped pe … lvus that chimpanzees as well as a big toe that is in line with the rest of the toes, unlike a chimpanzee.3 people found this useful.hat are the similarities between the animals an the humans? the similarities are:-   -they can move-the have living cells-they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon di oxide-they cant make food on their own.

Humans aren't monkeys. We aren't apes, either. In the past, many anthropologists categorized chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans together as “pongids”. Today, we recognize that these are not a natural group. Phylogenetically, humans are part of the group that includes orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas. Many anthropologists call this group “Hominidae”, although others would put this at a different taxonomic level than the family level (the level implied by the “idae” ending).

- Humans are classified as primates, one of the orders of mammals that diversified after the extinction of the Dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Early primates resembled rodents; they were small, had a diverse diet, and lived in trees.

- Humans share many traits with other apes, and those other apes (i.e., non-human apes) don't have unique features that set them apart from humans. Humans have some features that are uniquely our own, but so do gorillas, chimps, and the rest.Hominid evolution should not be read as a march to human-ness (even if it often appears that way from narratives of human evolution).Students should be aware that there is not a dichotomy between humans and apes.umans share many traits with other apes, and those other apes (i.e., non-human apes) don't have unique features that set them apart from humans. Humans have some features that are uniquely our own, but so do gorillas, chimps, and the rest.

- Apes. Apes and humans differ from all of the other primates in that they lack external tails. They also are more intelligent and more dependent for survival on learned behavior patterns. There are several internal body differences as well, such as the absence of an appendix in monkeys.he largest apes are the gorillas of Africa. Adult males are 5 - 6 feet (1.7-1.8 m.) tall and have 9-10 foot (2.7-3.0 m.) arm spans. They have massive heads with heavy, thick muscles on top that are used to close crushing jaws.

- A monkey is a primate with strong grasping hands and feet, sometimes having a long prehensile tail. New World monkeys are native to South and Central America. Old World monkeys are native to Africa and Central and Southern Asia. A monkey is a primate with strong grasping hands and feet, sometimes having a long prehensile tail.

Human Evolution Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed.

- It is not surprising that there are some striking differences between the great apes and humans in mental abilities. People have much more complex forms of verbal communication than any other primate species. We are the only animal to create and use symbols as a means of communication.ith the exception of these differences, we are quite similar to the African apes anatomically and genetically, especially to the chimpanzees and bonobos. Humans have 46 chromosomes in their cells while all of the great apes have 48.

- The reason humans are primates is, we can both walk on 2 legs, we both have hands, … but, we are omnivores and others are herbivores. They live in parts of a jungle though. We also live in different environments, other primates live in jungles. 15 people found this useful.

- The Essential Difference Between Animals and Humans. The essential difference between animals and humans is the ability to self-reflect. A chimpanzee, our closest genetic relative (around 99% similar in DNA), can be taught to do basically everything a human can, though of course at a more generally primitive level.

What is the difference between monkeys, apes and gorillas? 'Monkeys' and 'Apes' are terms that refer to big groups that contain many different species. Gorillas are a specific species of ape. An analogy would be 'birds' and 'blue jays', where 'birds' is like 'monkeys' or 'apes', and 'blue jay' is like 'gorilla'. There are lots of different species of birds. Blue jays are one particular species.

Difference Between Chimps and Humans Chimps. Chimps or chimpanzees are a type of apes and the closest extant relative to the humans. Gorillas and orang-utans are their other close relatives. There are only two species of chimps described under the genus Pan, P. troglodytes (Common chimp) and P. paniscus (Bonobo).

Monkeys: Facts, Types & Pictures Monkeys live all over the world and come in various shapes, sizes and colors. As one of our closest relatives, these mammals are very intelligent and have opposable thumbs, allowing them to use tools and play games. There are more than 260 different types of monkeys.onkeys are as varied in shape and size as humans. The world's smallest monkey is the pygmy marmoset, according to the University of Wisconsin. It weights only around 4 ounces (113 grams) and is only around 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) tall. The world's largest monkey is the mandrill.

- Monkeys are haplorhine (dry-nosed) primates, a paraphyletic group generally possessing tails and consisting of approximately 260 known living species. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons.onkey brains are eaten as a delicacy in parts of South Asia, Africa and China. In traditional Islamic dietary laws, the eating of monkeys is forbidden. However, monkeys are sometimes eaten in parts of Africa, where they can be sold as  bushmeat .

Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same, Gene Study Finds But 2.7 percent of the genetic difference between humans and chimps are duplications, in which segments of genetic code are copied many times in the genome. If genetic code is a book, what we found is that entire pages of the book duplicated in one species but not the other, said Eichler.

- The New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys are each monophyletic groups, but their combination is not, since it excludes hominoids (apes and humans). Thus the term monkey no longer refers to a recognized scientific taxon.oeldi's marmoset (Callimico goeldii). Monkeys range in size from the pygmy marmoset, which can be as small as 117 millimetres (4.6 in) with a 172-millimetre (6.8 in) tail and just over 100 grams (3.5 oz) in weight, to the male mandrill, almost 1 metre (3.3 ft) long and weighing up to 36 kilograms (79 lb).

monkey Facts monkey Facts. Monkeys, gibbons and apes are all primates, but belong in different families. The most obvious difference between monkeys and apes is that apes do not have tails. A few isolated monkey species do not have tails either, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The great apes, which are the human being, the orangutan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo, are much larger than monkeys and much more highly evolved.

Human genome While there are significant differences among the genomes of human individuals (on the order of 0.1%), these are considerably smaller than the differences between humans and their closest living relatives, the chimpanzees (approximately 4%) and bonobos. Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas.

Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same, Gene Study Finds The number of genetic differences between humans and chimps is ten times smaller than that between mice and rats. Scientists also discovered that some classes of genes are changing unusually quickly in both humans and chimpanzees, as compared with other mammals. These classes include genes involved in the perception of sound, transmission of nerve signals, and the production of sperm.

- There are two distinct lineages of monkeys: New World Monkeys and catarrhines. Apes emerged within the catarrhines with the Old World monkeys as a sister group, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. However, traditionally apes are not considered monkeys, rendering this grouping paraphyletic.

Humans aren't monkeys. We aren't apes, either. Chimpanzees are apes. Gorillas are apes, as are bonobos, orangutans, and gibbons. We routinely differentiate the “great apes” from the “lesser apes”, where the latter are gibbons and siamangs. Humans are not apes.
